Operation Vigilant Resolve*
*
The killing of five American soldiers in Habbaniyah followed days later by the death and mutilation of four Blackwater military contractors in Fallugah led to moral outrage in the United States. Operation Vigilant Resolve is intended to 'pacify' the city of Fallugah.*
*
The USMC strategy of foot patrols, less aggressive raids, humanitarian aid, and close cooperation with local leaders was overridden when US Army general Kimmitt, deputy director of U.S. military operations in Iraq, declared there would be an 'overwhelming' response to the Blackwater deaths.*
*
During  the night of 4 April 2004, and morning of 5 April, US forces surrounded the city.*
